Integrals that are of interest in the analysis, design, and optimization of concentrating solar thermal systems (CST), such as the annual optical efficiency of the light collection and concentration (LCC) subsystem, can be accurately computed or estimated in two distinct ways: on the time domain and on the spatial domain. This article explores these two ways, using a case study that is highly representative of the commercial CST systems being deployed worldwide. In the time domain, the computation of these integrals are explored using 1-min, 10-min, and 1-h solar DNI input data and using The Cyprus Institute (CyI)’s High-Performance Computing (HPC) system and an open-source ray tracer, Tonatiuh++, being actively developed at CyI. In the spatial domain, the computation of these integrals is explored using SunPATH, another open-source software tool being actively developed at CyI, in tandem with Tonatiuh++. The comparison between the time and spatial domain approach clearly indicate that the spatial domain approach using SunPATH is dramatically more computationally efficient than the time domain approach. According to the results obtained, at least for the case study analyzed in this article, to compute the annual energy delivered by the LCC subsystem with a relative error less than 0.1%, it is enough to provide SunPATH with 1-h DNI data as input, request from SunPATH the sun position and weights of just 30 points in the celestial sphere, and run Tonatiuh++ to simulate these 30 points using 15 million rays per run. As the test case is highly representative, it is expected that this approach will yield similar results for most CST systems of interest.

Concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) solar systems can be hybridized, creating synergies: on one hand procuring dispatchability by storing thermal energy, and on the other hand generating electricity at a highly competitive prize. In this paper, we present an approach to the operation strategies and modes for integrated hybrid CSP + PV systems. We focus on parabolic trough (PT) solar plants, especially those operating in the south of Spain. Our study consists in the definition of suitable states for each of the subsystems that constitute a hybrid solar plant. We then propose modes from the combination of suitable states and establish the conditions for the transition between modes depending on the operation strategy. We propose two operation strategies: demand coverage and base load production. The results of this paper can be used in decision making for hybrid solar system simulation programs.

In this paper, we present a method for the synthetic generation of long-term time series of coupled 1-min global horizontal solar irradiance (GHI) and direct normal solar irradiance (DNI). This method requires an input of 10–15 annual time series of hourly DNI and GHI values that can be retrieved from satellite-based irradiance databases, and produces 100 years of 1-min solar radiation values that can be used for risk analysis or as input for solar plants performance simulation in a wide range of scenarios. The method consists of the conjunction of three steps. The first one, based on a stochastic procedure, is used to generate 100 years of monthly DNI and GHI values. The second step consists of the subsequent generation of daily irradiation values. To that end we have used a bootstrapping technique. The synthetic daily sequences have the same serial correlation structure as the observed data. The last step consists of the generation of 100 years of 1-min solar irradiance data out of the daily values based on the non-dimensionalization of the daily profiles by the clear sky envelope approach. The method has been applied for the location of Seville showing satisfactory results in terms of cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of the synthetic data. We obtain an average monthly KSI (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test integral) index of 0.11 kWh/m2 for GHI and 0.26 kWh/m2 for DNI. The minimum KSI value is 0.07 kWh/m2 for GHI and 0.15 kWh/m2 for DNI obtained in January. The maximum KSI value is 0.19 kWh/m2 for GHI and 0.34 kWh/m2 for DNI obtained in June and August respectively.

This paper analyses the possible applications of medium temperature solar concentration technologies, Compound Parabolic Collector, Linear Fresnel Collector and Parabolic Trough Collector in the Spanish industrial sector. Results of this study allow evaluating whether or not solar technologies are an alternative to conventional sources. This possibility is analyzed energetically, economically and environmentally. Results show that the percentage of solar use is decisive in determining the true thermal energy generation cost. The other essential parameter is the solar field area due to produce economy of scale that reduces investment costs. Fluid temperature has significant influence mainly in Compound Parabolic Collector technology. Results obtained in this paper collect multiple alternatives and allow comparing for different scenarios the suitability to replace conventional energy sources by thermal energy obtained from medium temperature solar concentration technologies from an economic perspective. For instance, for percentage of solar use equal to 100%, the lowest thermal energy generation costs for each technology are 1.3 c€/kWh for Compound Parabolic Collector technology, fluid temperature of 100 °C and industrial process located in Seville, 2.4 c€/kWh for Linear Fresnel Collector technology, fluid temperature of 170 °C and industrial process located in Jaen, 3.3 c€/kWh for technology, fluid temperature of 350 °C and industrial process located in Jaen. These costs are lower than conventional energy sources costs.

Understanding the long-term temporal variability of solar resource is fundamental in any assessment of solar energy potential. The variability of the solar resource (as shown by historical solar data) plays a significant role in the statistical description of the future performance of a solar power plant, thus influencing its financing conditions. In particular, solar-power financing is mainly based on a statistical quantification of the solar resource. In this work, a methodology for generating meteorological years representative of a given annual probability of exceedance of solar irradiation is presented, which can be used as input in risk assessment for securing competitive financing for Concentrating Solar Thermal Power (CSTP) projects. This methodology, which has been named EVA, is based on the variability and seasonality of monthly Direct Normal solar Irradiation (DNI) values and uses as boundary condition the annual DNI value representative for a given probability of exceedance. The results are validated against a 34-year series of net energy yield calculated at hourly intervals from measured solar irradiance data and meteorological, and they are also supplemented with the analysis of uncertainty associated to the probabilities of exceedance estimates. Relations between DNI and CSTP energy yields at different time scales are also analyzed and discussed.

A new anidolic parametric trough solar collector (PmTC) having 8.12 m net width aperture has been recently proposed for a commercial evacuated receiver tube with an absorber diameter of 70 mm. Since the collector was designed ignoring transmission, absorption, and reflection optical losses, calculations of the optical efficiency and the incidence angle modifier (IAM) by means of Monte Carlo spectral raytracing simulations using real slope errors distributions and taking into account Fresnel reflection losses were done. Comparison with an Eurotrough parabolic trough collector (PTC) shows an optical penalization of 5.1% due to the reflectivity and additional soiling of the secondary mirror, to an increase in the end losses and to the Fresnel reflection losses. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) system advisor model (SAM) was used to perform annual simulations of two commercial 50 MWe oil power plants without thermal energy storage located in Seville. A PTC solar field consisting of 90 loops, each one having four Eurotrough solar collector assemblies (SCA) with 150 m length was first modeled resulting in a gross production of 386 kWh/(m2 yr). A PmTC solar field with the same module length and similar SCA net aperture area was also simulated. A final configuration of 94 loops and four SCAs with 100 m length per loop yields a gross production of 379 kWh/(m2 yr) showing no improvement compared to the reference PTC plant. The present study allows to advance in the understanding of the potential of the anidolic optic to produce optical geometries able to effectively improve the PTC technology in the short-term projecting results at a commercial plant level.

A methodology to classify days as a function of the state of the sky for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant operation is proposed. For this purpose, three indexes are used to characterize the energy, variability and time distribution of the DNI and to define the type of days by means of clustering techniques. Two sets of indexes are tested and compared. The energy of days is represented by the transmittance index, kb. Two indexes are used to characterize the variability of the DNI: persistence index of the instantaneous kb values (POPD) and Variability Index (VI). Equivalent indexes have been previously used to classify the types of days using Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI). A novel index to define the time distribution of the DNI daily energy is introduced. Clustering analysis is applied to thirteen years (2000–2012) of 10-min DNI measurements recorded in Seville (37.40°N, 6.01°W) by the Group of Thermodynamics and Renewable Energy (GTER) at the University of Seville. The k-medoids algorithm is used for cluster analysis. Through the use of well-known internal validity indexes and with the help of the L-method, the optimum number of clusters (types of days) is found to be 10. The results are compared with the assessment carried out by five experts on a reference set composed of DNI daily curves from two years (2010 and 2011). This comparison reveals a better coincidence when the clustering is performed using VI.

This paper evaluates the potential of solar concentration technologies—compound parabolic collector (CPC), linear Fresnel collector (LFC) and parabolic trough collector (PTC)—as an alternative to conventional sources of energy for industrial processes in Latin America, where high levels of solar radiation and isolated areas without energy supply exist. The analysis is addressed from energy, economic and environmental perspective. A specific application for Argentina in which fourteen locations are analyzed is considered. Results show that solar concentration technologies can be an economically and environmentally viable alternative. Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) ranges between 2.5 and 16.9 c€/kWh/m2 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions avoided range between 33 and 348 kgCO2/(m2·year). CPC technology stands out as the most recommendable technology when the working fluid temperature ranges from 373 K to 423 K. As the working fluid temperature increases the differences between the LCOE values of the CPC and LFC technologies decrease. When 523 K is reached LFC technology is the one which presents the lowest LCOE values for all analyzed sites, while the LCOE values of PTC technology are close to CPC technology values. Results show that solar concentration technologies have reached economic and environmental competitiveness levels under certain scenarios, mainly linked to solar resource available, thermal level requirements and solar technology cost.

A detailed knowledge of the solar resource is a critical point to perform an economic feasibility analysis of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants. This knowledge must include its magnitude (how much solar energy is available at an area of interest over a long time period), and its variability over time. In particular, DNI inter-annual variations may be large, increasing the return of investment risk in CSP plant projects. This risk is typically evaluated by means of the simulation of the energy delivered by the CSP plant during years with low solar irradiation, which are typically characterized by annual solar radiation datasets with high probability of exceedance of their annual DNI values. In this context, this paper proposes the use meteorological years representative of a given probability of exceedance of annual DNI in order to realistically assess the inter-annual variability of energy yields. The performance of this approach is evaluated in the location of Burns station (University of Oregon Solar Radiation Monitoring Laboratory), where a 34-year (from 1980 to 2013) measured data set of solar irradiance and temperature is available.
